Thermo flask recommendations

Hey

I’m wanting some recommendations for a flask that retains its heat well for a long period of time to help with any bottle feeds I may need to do. This isn’t so much to warm up the milk but I like to do the hot shot method with my rapid cool. What does everyone use? X

Powdered formula

It might be a stupid question but how do you guys prep powdered formula esp at night to make it easier and faster? LO demands milk and has no patience, will scream like he hasn’t been ever fed. We’ve always used ready to feed milk. Which is way more expensive and not good for the environment.

Dropping a bottle

My boy isn’t drinking his morning bottle. Could I drop this bottle yet or is it far too early still?

Can you overfeed a formula baby?

My 5 week old is eating 4oz every 2 hours on the dot! Is it possible that we are over feeding him? No he does not spit up often, he will fuss at the 2 hour mark (wake up from sleep as well) until he gets his bottle.
We offer the pacifier after feeding sometimes but I’m worried about offering the pacifier when he fusses incase I miss the hunger queues.

Formula

To the mamas that are buying formula, what are you buying? I plan to breastfeed but I only managed 3 weeks with my first so I want to have it there just encase, I'm torn between sma or kendamil, I used sma with my first but the recall has me a little on edge

Flask with temperature display

What’s the best one out there that actually keeps the water hot enough to make a bottle overnight!?! My nuby one seems to cool down so quickly!

Tommie tippie UV steriliser

Hiya I’m unsure first time using glass baby bottles and was wondering if it’s safe to use uv steriliser? If anyone done it already without issues

Cows milk

What’s everyone’s thoughts on introducing cows milk in bottle?? My little boy will be 1 in just over 2 weeks, we have just over half a tin of his formula left, he’s only really in 2 bottles a day now one in morning and one before bed, he’s eats 3 meals a day and has a very varied diet. he has cows milk with his food.. would you do a straight swap? Do I need to wait till the day he turns one or can I start a week earlier as it seems pointless buying a whole new formula pot just for a week?

Milk not dropping

Anyone else still on a large volume of milk throughout the day

Still 32oz and eating three meals plus a snack

Milk

My son is 13 months old and won’t take cow’s milk as a drink .. do we stick to a formula bottle or skip it completely?
I still breastfed in the morning and before bed. This is just for the afternoon when I’m at work

Why stage

My 3 year old has officially entered the why stage 😅😂 any advice how to go about it? Should I answer every why with reason ? Should I ignore most of it?

Advice

My son is approaching 17 months old. He still has a bottle of warm cows milk before bed. He has teeth now and is getting older. When he was around 13 months old I tried switching him to a toddler cup/bottle for his milk as I read about it not being good for them to still have a bottle with a proper teat especially after 1 years old or if they have teeth. Does anyone have a child of the same age who still has milk before bed? Or their child did at this age? I’m a first time mum and no clue when/if I should be weening him off of it or using something that’s not a bottle?

Goat milk formula 🐐

What’s your experience with Goat milk formula?

Looking into switching to Nannycare from cows milk - we’ve moved from Kendamil to now Hipp Organic but I just don’t think it’s right for my 5 month old. We combi feed but we’re upping his bottles as he’s a hungry boy.

Any advice would be realllllllly appreciated 🤍

Nursery and formula

My son is only going to nursery for two days so I don’t want to give the whole formula tub back and forth.
What can I empty some formula in for they to keep for two days?

Dropping milk!

I’m noticing my little boy is starting to refuse his bottles! He’s only on 3 meals a day and I’ve already tried to stick to a routine but since he started going to nursery, he refuses bottles there, I put it down to there’s far too much going on! But he’s started doing it at home too. Concerned as obviously I’m aware it’s still his primary source of nutrition. Just wondering if anyone has any advice or your baby is doing the same thing? Thanks!

Rice milk formula

Has anyone tried this for CMPA? I heard it might be easier to switch to for EBF babies. Mine is struggling with the eHF ones given the taste.
